"Rest, rest perturbed spirit." (Hamlet) Once again the school year has been successfully immortalised in black print with the occasional grey smudge. All our loves and losses; joys and despairs, are collected here to serve as eternal reminders of a year of both great sorrow and success, in which the school, as a whole, has uniied to face major disasters and triumphs, and has emerged sadder yet in- finitely wiser. l9T9heraldstheendof oneturbulentdecadeandthebeginningof anoiher. lnviewof this,thismagazineshouldbecon' sidered as a doorway between the two, on the one side enclosing the past with all its achievements and struggles, and on the other, opening onto a world of promise and hope.
